MAGAZINE-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,633, dated September 27, 1881.

Application filed May 25, 1881.

To all whomit may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK J. GOULD, of Sidney, in the county of Shelby and State of Ohio,

have invented a new and Improved Magazine or Self-Feeding Stove or Furnace, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a magazine stove or furnace that is less expensive toconstruct, has greater heating capacity, is more economical of fuel, and is less liable to gas-explosions than other magazine-stoves now in use.

Myimprovements consist in constructing the magazine of the stove with a vertical row of perforations opening outwardly into a tube attached to said magazine, closed at its upper extremity and open at its lower end, and near the latter communicating with the outside by means of a short tube passing through the side of the stove; also, in providing the magazine at its top with an annular collar cut away upon the front; also, in the combination, with the shell, the top, 1 and the collar cut away as aforesaid, of the magazine having its top situated'at some distance from the top of the stove, and the chamber formed between said magazine-top, collar, and stove-top; also, in various details of construction, all of which will be hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the stove on line a; m, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, with the fixed cover removed. Fig. 3 is a reverse plan view of the magazine and that portion of the shell in which it is supported. Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of a portion of the stove.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre- I spondin g parts.

In the drawings, A represents the base of the stove, supported on legs a a; and B is the shell of the stove, resting thereon.

G is the grate, b the ash-pit, and O the ashpit door; and 0 represents the combustionchamber.

D is the magazine, provided with radial semi-cylindrical ears d, that engage over and upon corresponding rods or lugs f, that project inward from the shell B, and thereby support said magazine D centrally within said shell B, so that the former may at any time (ModeL) be removed from the shell B for repairs or renewal. Secured on the top of said magazine D, and atright angles to its axis, is a circular collar or annular plate, E, that extends nearly to the shell B, to direct the heat and products of combustion over the top of the magazine D, excepting at the front, where it is cut away, as shown at g, to permit the heat and products of combustion to pass up. On this collar E are secured two parallel bars or guides, E,

between which slides the two-part magazinecover F, that is operated. by rods F which extend outward through the shell, as shown, said cover F covering the opening F in the top of the magazine D, through which the fuel is introduced into the stove. The magazine D is provided on one side with a vertical row of holes or orifices, h, by means of which communication is held between the interior of said magazine D and a gas consuming pipe or chamber, G, that is secured to it over said holes h, said chamber G beingopen at the bottom for the admission of heat from the combustion-chamber c, and being provided near its bottom with a tube, It, extending laterally through the shell B for the admission of the outer air, the purpose being to permit the gradual escape of the gases from the magazine D, so that they shall not explode therein, into the chamber G, where theyina-y beinexplosively consumed by admixture with the air admitted through the tube k.

H H represent the mica-glazed windows or openings in the side of the shell B. In some instances the shell B is made in two sections, the upper one of which carries or supports the magazine D, and is fitted over the lower section, as shown in Fig. 1; but this style of construction is not essential, as the shell B may be constructed in one piece, if desirable.

1 represents the stove-top, having a central feed-opening, m, closed with a cover, I, that may be either a swinging or lifting cover, as

reg

D disconnected from the shell B all parts ot' the stove are exposed to the tire, whereby its radiating-surface is largely increased; that because of the perforations in the side of the magazine the gases from the coal contained therein willescapeinto the stove and be burned, and will not escape into the room when the cover is removed for recharging the magazine with fuel; and with this construction the outer air is prevented from entering the magazine to cause explosions of gas therein.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with shell B and magazine D, having a vertical row of perforations, IL, upon its front, of the tube G, closed at top and open at bottom, and connected with the outside air by means of pipe is, situated near the lower end of said tube G, substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. The combination, with the shell B and magazine D, of the annular collar E, having its front cut away to form opening 9, substantially as and for the purposes described.

3. The combination, with the shell B, the top I I, and the collar E, having front orifice, g, of the magazine D, whose top is some distance below the top I I, and the chamber M, substantially as described, whereby the top of the stove is heated, as set forth.

4. The within-described stove, consisting of bottom A, shell B, top I I, removable magazine D, provided with perforations h, pipe 70, and tube G, annular collar E, double top F, handles F and flue K, substantially as and for the purposes described.
